Three in five nurses vote to accept Labour Court proposals

Three in five nurses have voted to accept Labour Court proposals aimed at resolving a dispute that triggered three days of strike action earlier this year.

While the margin in favour was not overwhelming - 62% for, 38% against - Phil Ní Sheaghdha, general secretary of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) said they had seen “tighter margins” in the past.
